neighborhood (Leviticus 19:18)

in the little kids
who spend Saturday mornings
making sandwiches for
rough sleepers, and
giving them away
in the evenings;
in the PTSDed vet
who gives half of his
sandwich to the
four-legged friend
who shadows him
everywhere;
in the dog who
keeps guard over
the aluminum can filled cart,
while the old lady
sleeps on the doorstep;
in the old lady
who gives a tenth
of her earnings from
the recycled aluminum
to the children, so
they can buy more
sandwich fixings,
